English and American News
 GathererS.

The average English reporter trusts far too much to short hand. When he gets on large daily, he is apt to be- come mere aote-taking machine, and he is treated and esteemed as such. The result is that when there comes among reporters man who can write ..out of nj. own head" no use is made of his capacity. The chief reporter simply uses him as a machine, and the man, if he be of any stamina, retaliates by getting himself removed from the reporting staff to some other depart meft. Then when the occasion comes that a reporter is wanted 10 write an origional copy he is either not there or he lacks the facility that comes from practice.
 The American reporter is different In many cases he would be unfit to take his turn in the gallery" or at large public meeting where the paper sends corps for fiye-eolium 0er- batiDl report His shorthand Is shaky and. like DaUtd Copperfetd's. a puzzle to himself. But he can go to a meet 1 ing and write half narrative and half critical report. containing not only the main facts, but score of little gossipy items and comments that peo- pie like to read. He can be told to '.go down to the depot and make a column about the new boss"--a com mand at which the average English reporter would stare helplessly. Fi nally. he can be requested to go and get some news. and he will go and get it His English confrere never heard such command, and has DO knowl- edge that anything ever happens save such anticipated events as are daily entered in advance in the chief report er's engagement book.

BE Money for GnnpaMder.

WASHINGTON, D. C., December IA Among the recommendations which the Secretary of War makes to con- gress is one of peculiar interest-that in regard to the morning and evening gun at army posts throughout the Un- ion. In July. 1867, Gen. Grant, by & general order. provided for firing sun set and sunrise gun wherever troops of the United States were stationed. The eXigencies ot the War had demanded the manufacture of vast quantities of powder. for which millions of dollars had been paid. The stnpendous amount of this powder can be imagined from the fact that tEe morning and evening gun, iirgo at every military post throughout the United States for twen- " year, has only this year exhausted the supply left over from the war. Last March the sunrise and sunset signals had to be abandoned at military posts except West Point and the schools of instruction at Fortress Monroe and Fort Leavenworth. To fire this gun morning and evening will consume during the coming year l700 barrels of powder at cost of S30.500 Patriotic pride will ur4 h;edly prevail with Congress top D. trm unehailenged, for to Amer''s Se the English drum beat zs q the world.

Chicago After the Democratic Convention , WASHINGTON, D. C., December ls.- Chicago having secured the Republican National Convention for lSsS, is now after the Democratic Convention and is making a special effort in tbat diree- tion. Democratic politicians in Wash ington have received circular iron the convention committee of Chicago in which the cause Of that city is elo quently and elaborately pleaded. and the co-ope ration Of Washington politi- cal organizations respectfully request ed. The circular closes with the fol- lowing:
 ''In passing we may mention senti- mental consideration which, though il hints at acceptance of mere luck as . potency, is not without significance to a large number of electors It was in Chicago that the first Democratic nomi- nee. who came to tho presidency since James Buchanan was chosen. The press of Chicago will present full and fair reports of the Convention proceed ings, and the local sentiment will be found subservient to the best interests of the party, and unwilling to urge upon its consideration a particular pro- gramme. As determined efforts will be made next year to add Illinois to the Democratic column, the moral infiu- ence of holding the Convention in this metropolis will be decided aid in this direction"
